The snow once again, like always faded away with Anne, yesterday she was with us and today she is gone forever.

Ellevi would sit on one table with two glass of juice, one for himself and the other for Anne, he'd just sit there and cry and I know I was a bad sister for not comforting him enough.

One evening I laid on my bed listening to the music with no vocals, to relax myself but all of that was put aside when Miles came by.

"I want you right now", Miles said as he searched for something around my room.

"Miles, do you need help?", I asked.

"Just come over to my house, right now", he replied.

He took out a sweatshirt  from my closet and pulled me.

"Mrs Solo, I am borrowing your daughter for the time", he shouted and waited for her response.

"Ok, be home soon", she shouted back.

"Mom, I'll be back soon!", I shouted and ran out with Miles.

"Do you need help with something or you just want me around? or..."

"Please don't get mad", he said.

"I am not, why would I?"

"I just planned something that doesn't go  with the flow", he said.

"What do you mean?", I asked him.

His eyes studied my hands and slowly laid his long fingers on mine, one by one.

"You'll fine out", he said and started walking towards his house.

I followed him and after some moments we saw Ruth and Drey on his door step, chatting like they've forgotten to put an expression on their conversation.

"Bro, what is the, so important thing that you wanna show?", Drey's husky voice came out in an unstable way, sounding like he cried.

"Yes, Miles, would you let me know why I am here?", Ruth asked.

"You'll know it only when you enter my house", and he leaded us in.

I don't know what Miles's parents does but they were very rarely seen and that night was the rare night. His parents were at the living room busy on their own. We greeted them and followed him to his room.

"Welcome to our very, own", Miles said as he hold the door knob, "Prom night", and he opened the door.

His room was filled with balloons and a big PROM written above his bed, the stars on the ceiling were light up.

"Guys, I know Anne is gone and this isn't a good time to do it but I just wanted to cheer you up", he said.

The moment of silence occurred and we hopped our eyes from one person to the other. Than suddenly Drey cracked a smile, "It's awesome"

I smiled and hugged them.

"Ruth, proms are meant for everyone", Miles said and turned on the music.

"Lets dance", he said and we started dancing in pairs.

Ruth and Drey were dancing and just talking about life, but I saw that Ruth was trying her best to say 'Its alright', she patted his back and  smiled at him.

Right and left, right and left, tip toe, tip toe and than I am in his arms. There is always sorrow for the people who are left behind but among all sorrow I felt happiness, look, once again the music had healed me. I am one of the people who is left behind with sorrow but yet I've learned how to be happy, his smell, and his heartbeat that can be heard Miles away, all of it made me feel calm.
